supper was served in their dining rooms.
The Gardiner Y NJ. c. A. proposes to
have a loan and gift exhibition about the sec

art and fancy work by the ladies will be es-
pecially attractive as several articles of es
pecia merit are already promised. A dinner
will be furnished one day by the Ladies Aux
liary, and this will give our downtown peo-
pie an opportunity Of obtaining square meal
at moderate price. Any person having fan
cy articles that they are willing to loan or do
nate, will confer great favor on the associ-
alton by reporting the same to the general
secretary at their rooms.

THE NEW GOLD BONANZA.
The First Reports Confirmed in Every
Partic ular.

PRESCOTT, Ari., Nov. 10.
The big gold strike up the lassayampia
river is corroborated from dozen authentic
sources, and the excitement is increasing
hourly. Miners and adventurers are pour
ing in from all directions. Pieces of gold as
large as $50 pieces can be seen all over the
quartz. The supcrnte ndent of the Prescott
& Arizona Central railroad visited the mine
on Thursday. In an account of his visit
telegraphed to the officers of the Santa Fe
road, he says the gold ledge averages
Sl00, 900 per ton, and tons are in sight The
committee of citizens who visited the mine
say that the reports are not exaggerated.
The shaft is now down u feet, and a rich
pocket of ore was encountered at a depth of
three or four feet from which $1,000 or $1,000
were taken 1t may be truthfully said that
the prospect is the richest, far as
worked, that has ever been discovered in this
section Preparations are being made to
sink deeper on the vein. and the mine bids
fair to develop into one of the richest mines
in the world.

TAMAQUA, Pa, Nov 10.
Old time Molly Maguireism is again com
ing to the front. Two brothers, John and
Henry Miller, while returning from work at
Greenwood colliery last evening, were shot
at BY some one in ambush. The weapon
used was shot gun and number of small
shot penetrated the bodies of the men.
Greenwo ood coliiery has been working only
part of the time and the striking workmen
had returned to work only yesterday.
Buck Mountain coal breaker, eight miles
west of here, was burned to the ground dur
ing last night The breaker was a new one
and was owned by the Buck Mountain Coal
Company The origin of the fire is unknown
but is attributed to lawless characters. The
company has been working right along The
loss is S75 900.
The strikers deny that they had anything
to do with setting the buildings on fire. In
the first place, they claim this would be i'm
possible, as the breakers are protected by
watchmen and coal and iron policemen day
and night. The excitement is at fever heat
at Dritton.
Hardly had the flames at the Buck Noun
tain colliery died away when the incendia
ries' torches were applied to the large Goa
breaker at Drifton, owned by Coke Brothers
a leading firm of operators III the Lehigh re-
gion. The breaker was entirely destroyed
involving a loss of over 100000. Bott
collieries were operated by 'scab labor" AM
there is every reason to believe that they
were fired
Governor Beaver has been requested by
telegraph to order out the militia to prOtec

The coal regions are terribly excited
The money sent to the region is inadequate
to maintain the miners and the stories OF

The Rosa May sustained serious damage
and was only kept afoat by her water-tight
bulkheads.
An officer of the Scholton states that the
Rosa May carried no side lights but showing
the usual masthead lights TO indicate her ly-
ing at anchor They steered straight down
the channel, leaving her sufficient room to
pass clear. When they drew near they
found she steaming ahead and making
right On them. They tried To signal her Oft
but it was too late. She struck the Schol-
tons bow, ripping OFF the plates for SOME
distance and exposing the interior, The hole
extended below the water line.
The officers of the Rosa May aver that
they were lying at anchor and were run into,
They say they didn't weigh anchor till morn
ing.
IL is reported that the captain of the Rosa
May denies the statement that his vessel was
in collision with the W. A. Scholton. He
AYERS that he was run into by another vessel
while lying at anchor.
DR.. Ayme of New York, the Scholton's
surgeon. thinks that the Rosa MAY had Just
weighed anchor, and that the crew forgot 10
put up the side lights, He SAYS that many
were saved by the Ebro paralyzed with cold
and were with difficulty resusitated. The
boats which were cut away possibly hoated
when the steamer sank.

The staff Of Life.

-Four thousand years ago, Abra-
ham, the father Of the faithful, said
to his angelic visitors, "Rest your
selves under the tree and will fetch
bread to comfort your hearts," 1t
seems to us now that bread would be
a very simple and unworthy repast
with which to regale celestial visit
ants, if such unwonted guests were to
honor us, but in those days of grand
simplicity meat seems not to have
been so highly esteemed as the fruits
of the soil. Bread was then the staff
of life, and when Abraham wished to
Offer it to the angels he called Sarah,
his proud and beautiful wife, to
kindle fire and make ready quickly
three measures of meal, and knead it
and then bake it ON the hearth. 1t is
worthy Of note, too, by modern
housekeepers, who sometimes feel
kitchen work lowering, that although
of the highest rank in fact, a princess,
Sarah did not find it beneath her dig
nifty to make and bake the bread for
her husbands visitors. The table of
Nebuchadnezzar, the Babylonish
king, was furnished with meat and
wine, but Daniel, at his court, asked
for pulse" a name for vegetables of
any kind that grow in pods, and wa
ter to drink. And after ten days, the
Bible tells us, the countenances of
Daniel and his companions were fair
er and fatter in flesh than all who ate
of the kings meat. Vegetable food
seems to have been thought amply
sufficient for the food of man in
ancient days, and the pyramids were
built, it is said, by men who lived
solely on lentils, which are seed
plants Of the nature of beans or peas,
from which asort of meal called pulse
is made. In the time of Moses dish
of lentils was considered a dish
worthy of royal tables. Our present
way of living and the greater amount
of brain force needed, as well as some
peculiarities of climate, and other
conditions make it necessary for us to
eat large proportion of animal food,
but it might be much better for us il
we mingled with our diet more vege'
tables, as they are the flesh-forming
material and therefore of great i'm.
portance in repairing the daily waste
our system sundergo.

A Favored State.

Tennessee is a favored State. Not
within the bounds of the Union has
any commonwealth her natural and
acquired advantages. Her situation
is one of the most favored of all the
inland States. She lies across all the
great thoroughfares of commerce be-
tween the North and the South. Her
western limit has the advantages of
the Mississippi, soon to be the grand
est commercial waterway in the
world. Her middle section is the
passway for gigantic railroad systems
that bind together the lakes
and the gulf, while East Ten
nessee is the gateway through which
the Southwest and North must COM
municate. The climate is most va
ried of any equal area in the nation,
yet not more varied than her soil her
topography, her waters and natural
resources. Tennessee is susceptible
of Indefinite employment.
